My Favorite Things

Since Oprah gets to do a favorite things I decided I can too.  Of course my husband and children are my favorite people in the world but I wanted to highlight things that I like; big or small, important or not. Some I like more than others but they all are worth a fun shout out.  If you know me, read my blog often, then most of these things won't be a surprise. (Items are in no particular order.)

I love all things apple!  Iphone, Ipad, Imac, Itunes, I love it!!

I love to travel.  I would go by boat, plane, train or car - as long as we can go. I'm in the process of planning several trips for the year and love it.  I think I would be a great travel agent.  Too bad their jobs are almost non-existent these days.  I also happen to like Southwest.  I know a lot of people don't but one of their hubs is in Phoenix so I fly them a lot.  I got a free flight this year from flight credits.  Can't beat that!

I used to not like these - at all.  They started out as Ricky's favorite but I always thought they smelled so good.  After trying them a few times they grew on me and now they are my favorite.

Ricky teases me about how much I like these.  Not just pickles but stackers.  I put them on all my sandwiches and keep a few extra jars of them in the pantry. I don't like when we run out of these.  They are delicious and the perfect addition to a sandwich. 

My dream job when I was younger was to work at Disneyland Resort.  After working there for 5 years I became burnt out.  Tired of the drama and politics and frankly, the money wasn't worth it.  The magic was gone for a while but now it's back.  Not that I would go work there again but I love to visit.  I look forward to taking the boys and just being tourists.

My favorite drink.  I heart diet coke. 

Tennis. Being away from tennis made me realize how much I loved it and still do.  I enjoy the physical/athletic aspect, the strategy, the competitiveness, the challenge, the team environment and being outside. I love it all! I hope Lincoln and Logan play when they are older.  I hope to play forever!

You can never have too many flip flops.  I have several colors and styles and where them 90% of the time we go out.  They are a must have in Arizona.  I've been a fan of Old Navy flip flops but the plastic they use keeps getting cheaper and more uncomfortable.  I will be shopping for new ones soon!

My favorite TV program. Everyone has those TV shows that you love to watch but you don't know why. This is mine.  It requires no brain power - I can just sit and veg. Thank goodness for DVR's! (My DVR probably deserves it's own spot because I almost never watch anything that hasn't already been recorded.)

My new favorite exercise program.  I go to the gym weekly for a class and it's a lot of fun.  I think I underestimated it at first.  Now we hold weights and it's a great work out.  So much fun too!

I don't really endorse Michael's.  I actually like Hobby Lobby better and Michael's is going down hill in my book but this logo was cute.  I love arts and craft projects.  I have a million projects that I want to do, I just have to find the time and energy.  There is a great feeling of accomplishment when you finish something, especially if you learned a new skill or technique as you were making it. I could make crafts all day if I had the time.
